Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 2005
My wife and I absolutely LOVE Clear Lake! We love being so close to the lake and the small town friendliness. We hope you enjoy our home as much as we do!
Gary & Marian
Why the Owner Chose Clear Lake
We chose this location because we are so close to the lake. Nestled in a friendly residential neighborhood, to the south we are half block from the lake at a public access dock, to the north, 3 blocks is highway 18, 3 minutes to Interstate 35, and to the east one block from live music at the Surf Ballroom and many great places to eat, in a small commercial area.
The Unique Benefits of this House
The neighborhood is filled with a nice mix of fulltime residents and cabin owners that come up on the weekends to enjoy the small town friendliness. We enjoy our neighbors by yard hopping to each one's fire pit, walking to the lake, boating, dining at the homey Half Moon and catching the latest show or band at the Surf!
